Landy, I've been trying myself to figure out why it's a BS degree rather than a BA. But my degree is indeed a BS, not a BA. I can post a copy if you want. But I agree, a BS seems like an odd duck. Nonetheless, I wasn't about to quibble when they awarded it to me after all that coursework.

My Refurbished Web Page
by NeonMadman ini know that many here are no longer believers, but i also know that there are still some participating in this forum who consider themselves christians.
i recently refurbished my web site extensively, and thought some of you might enjoy browsing it.
some of my articles are aimed at exposing unbiblical teachings of the watchtower, and my video presentations on "darkness in the watchtower" and "the watchtower's mad science and bad medicine" have been particularly well received.

Darkspliver, are you saying the speaker is too wide for the rostrum?
In any event, I had no control over the nature of the rostrum. The video talks were given at a retreat center, and that is what they had at the time. I think they have a better one now, since the place burned down several years ago and has since been rebuilt.

Crabby, you can pretty much find out whatever you want to know about my current beliefs if you check out my web page. There's even a specific "Statement of Personal Beliefs" under the "About Us" tab. But yes, I do believe that Jesus died on the cross.

Interesting Wallpaper
by NeonMadman inmy wife and i live in a small town in northern new jersey.
there is a building near our house that, many decades ago, used to be the local post office.
it sat idle for many years, but a couple of years ago, some folks bought it and renovated it into a nice little cafe.

My wife and I live in a small town in northern New Jersey. There is a building near our house that, many decades ago, used to be the local post office. It sat idle for many years, but a couple of years ago, some folks bought it and renovated it into a nice little cafe. Last night was my wife's birthday, and that was where she wanted to go, so we had dinner there. In one room of the restaurant, they had papered the walls with all sorts of ephemera that was probably found in the building - old invoices, newspaper clippings, letters, postcards, certificates, etc. Anything and everything, just put on the wall and sealed over. Right behind my wife's chair, I looked down and saw a familiar face, and I snapped a picture for posterity. Odd to find "wallpaper" of this sort just a short distance from my house.

The Watchtower Letters
by NeonMadman inseveral years ago, i put together a compilation of various types of correspondence between me and the watchtower society, that occurred over the 30 years i was a jw.
some was just administrative stuff, like pioneer appointments and letters.
but there were also several letters that i wrote regarding doctrinal issues, including some sensitive ones.

Several years ago, I put together a compilation of various types of correspondence between me and the Watchtower Society, that occurred over the 30 years I was a JW. Some was just administrative stuff, like pioneer appointments and letters. But there were also several letters that I wrote regarding doctrinal issues, including some sensitive ones. The Watchtower's response to some of these was pretty telling, I think. It's been a few years since I made any of this material available in any format, so here it is for your enjoyment.

Are You Doomed?
by NeonMadman inback in 1969, we were studying the book babylon the great has fallen - god's kingdom rules!
in the book study.
at one point, it commented regarding the "hailstones" that would fall, as described in the book of revelation, that these "hailstones" referred to the hard messages of judgment that we jws would be proclaiming to people after the great tribulation had begun, when there was no further hope of salvation for those who were not already jws.

For the record, I was 17 in 1969 when I wrote the document. I was living at home, working at a gas station, had been recently baptized and was vacation pioneering for the first time. Getting injured blew my hours pretty badly.
We had been fooling around in our usual service group speculating about what form the "judgment messages" might take. This document was just a response to that, made for fun, and not really intended for circulation. The only people I think I ever showed it to were people in my car group and a few personal friends. I found it recently going through some old JW stuff, and thought it might be of interest.

Back in 1969, we were studying the book Babylon the Great Has Fallen - God's Kingdom Rules! in the Book Study. At one point, it commented regarding the "hailstones" that would fall, as described in the book of Revelation, that these "hailstones" referred to the hard messages of judgment that we JWs would be proclaiming to people after the Great Tribulation had begun, when there was no further hope of salvation for those who were not already JWs. This idea became a topic of much discussion in the car groups I generally worked in field service with, and we speculated on what literature the Society might publish at that time. We decided that there would probably be a pamphlet of some sort to inform people of God's judgment against them, and that we would have to distribute it to the hopelessly lost people outside the organization.
As fortuity would have it (couldn't say luck), I had enrolled as a vacation pioneer for the month of September, 1969, and halfway through the month, I severely sprained my ankle at work, laying me up for three weeks and preventing me from completing my pioneer hours. In the boredom associated with being laid up, however, I decided to have some fun by creating my own version of the literature that the WTS might print once the Tribulation started rocking. I'm offering the result here for your possible enjoyment.

1974 Special Meetings
by NeonMadman inas we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.

These were to be held in place of the Service Meetings for the two weeks, IIRC. In the September KM, there were two letters provided that would be handed out to the attenders at each meeting. This provision was intended to seal in our minds the closeness of Armageddon. It was hoped that people who had been hanging onto the org without making a commitment would now 'get off the pot,' as it were, and that those already in the org would work ever harder trying to get people saved before Armageddon hit, any minute now. Anyway, I was digging through some old JW stuff a few days ago and found copies of the letters. Thought you folks might enjoy reading them.
